Anyone seeing a pattern here..:bang:

Gov. Rick Scott will allow a state agency to accept a $35.7-million federal health grant, even though the funds flow from a law that Scott hates and says is invalid.
The Agency for Health Care Administration won the "Money Follows the Person" grant from the Department of Health and Human Services on Feb. 22. Florida was one of 13 states that won the grants, which pay for services that enable people who are mentally or physically disabled to get out or stay out of nursing homes.
The money was allocated through the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act - the same law that Florida is contesting in federal court. But the grant does nothing to carry out the Act itself, Scott spokeswoman Amy Graham explained in an e-mail.
"The state will not be drawing down any dollars that bring about the implementation of ObamaCare," she said, using opponents' slang term for the Act.
A spokeswoman for HHS, Mary Kahn, said only, "We're glad they're taking the money."
